About

Excellent stock can be eaten without anything else, as a pure essence of vegetable clear soup. It becomes a broth when other elements are included such as solid vegetables, rice, pasta, or beans. You could start a couple of days beforehand with a bowl for scraps of other meals to use in your stock.

Ingredients

2 to 3 Tbsp olive oil
